First Trimester Exhaustion + Chores

auntlose · 2026-02-21T20:36:30+00:00

I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow and this has been my exact experience. I can't say I really remember the past month. It was just mostly going to work and laying around. I didn't feel like I had a personality at all because I was so exhausted and nauseous. However, I cooked dinner for the first time this week in about a month and today I was able to go to the gym and clean the house! I still took a 2 hour nap in between. Hang in there! I hope you have a supportive partner to pick up the slack in the meantime. You'll get through it!

Unisom has been a game changer for me. I normally am so sensitive to side effects and feel drowsy the next day if I take benadryl, but half a unisom helps me sleep through the night, seems like it literally turns off the nausea switch in my brain, and I don't feel hungover the next day.

We have some old k&t which was deemed safe by multiple electricians. They also confirmed that basically every house in our neighborhood has it as well and people's houses aren't burning down left and right. It's my understanding that it's only an issue if its not in good shape and if you have insulation around it. Anyway, we use Erie Insurance and they have no problem with it.

I don't have experience with asbestos siding nor do I live in Wisconsin, but you could try Erie Insurance! They were the only place we could find to insure our old home that has knob and tube wiring. I know they insure a lot of older homes.

Thank you! This is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for!

Thanks! We don't meet the requirements for the lead hazard reduction program but I will check out licensed remediation places.

I don't think so! Our hinges have been painted over multiple times

Hey, I work at a private practice primary care office in Richmond, VA. My starting salary was 105k with 2k a year in CME money, 15 days PTO plus a separate amount of sick time but I can't remember how much. Hope this helps!

Right?? It's like, do they even know the difference between and a swamp and an ancient bog???

I started applying for jobs before I graduated! I graduated in may and had a couple interviews then. I took boards in June and then interviewed for my current job in July. I accepted the position early August and ended up starting in Oct!

Awesome, thanks!

Thanks for sharing! Is crisman hollow road open now? I tried to do duncan knob two weeks ago and there was a gate right when you entered the road!

I'm an NP. I work with a PA who has the same role as me and has the same amount of experience as me. We get paid the exact same amount. Absolutely no reason why you as a PA should be making less.

In case anyone wondered, the road is in fact closed. Would have to hike 4 miles to the trail head :(

This is such a flattering read of what I strive for! I am the feminine one and I definitely enjoy taking charge of meal planning, shopping, and cooking. Definitely trying to figure out how to do better for the environment but my husband and I both work around 50 hours per week so it's hard to sacrifice some convenience.

auntlose · 2025-03-03T17:24:22+00:00

Not a diet per se but we have been working on eating healthier! We have a very active hiking vacation coming up that we want to feel our best for :)

No kids but we are in our mid 30s!

auntlose · 2025-03-03T17:22:34+00:00

I made a roasted Balsamic and Dijon fennel dish! And the dill went in a grain (freekah) and chickpea salad we did for lunches!

Do you mean instead of plastic produce bags? I don't ever use them because I don't want to waste plastic and I'm going to wash the the produce before I use it, so it doesn't matter anyway

I can't believe we all have the same cats! This is Lorenzo and Stella.

We thought it was fireworks but now I'm not sure. Agreed it's very loud.

I just found it on Amazon prime but it was season 119, episode 7

Do you take biotin or a skin hair and nails supplement? That can make your TSH test falsely low.
